<p> Yes, there's a BACKUP/DUMPER program for VMS. Works great for
text, but it mangles 36 bit binary files (e.g. .EXE, .REL, .UNV,
etc). Or at least I've never found a way to get the files back
from VMS to TOPS10 and have them still be functional.</p>
<p> Reading the tape on TOPS10 with actual BACKUP seems like the
best plan, but thanks for the suggestions.</p>
